Did you know?
- In Spanish, the term huevos can double as a slang term for 'courage' or 'bravery'. If someone tells you tienes muchos huevos, they are not commenting on your breakfast, but rather your guts.
- Because benedictinos also describes the monks of the Order of Saint Benedict, the dish name literally implies the eggs are 'Benedictine'.
- In high-end Mexican dining, servers may ignore the translation entirely and use the English phrase 'Eggs Benedict' as a specific culinary label.
